Mario Milletti's Contributions to Brain Tumors in the Mid Twentieth Century

Abstract

Mario Milletti (1914-1959) was a pioneer of modern neurosurgery in Italy, one of the founders of the Italian Society of Neurosurgery in 1948. In this work the Author emphasizes the Milletti’s contributions to brain tumors, which were important both from a diagnostic aspect and as regards the operating case studies. Especially significant was his study, published in Acta Neurochirurgica in 1950, on the angiographic differential diagnosis of different histological types.
